5. Mission calls - how can these same men continue to 'call' young men and women on missions to teach a narrative to investigators that they admitted 10 years ago in an essay buried on their own wesbite... isn't true??? What does this refer to? Maybe the rock in the hat? Hard to see as a big deal. ...

Two thoughts, first I think it very likely the leaders of the church remain convinced that it is true. People believe things like that. Why more temples? I have been puzzled by that but have had a thought. I have recently been very puzzled by peoples reaction to Peterson's attitude towards senior mi...

What distinguishes the Malheur bunch and Papa Bundy from the homeless. Weren’t all trespassing? Well, the Malheur affair was about cows and what cost was to be paid for their dinners. Nobody was homeless. Hmm that does not clarify the trespassing idea. Maybe a lot of guns displayed in quasi militar...

Threatening to withhold US aid (not his own money) is not fair game. That's using the office of President for personal profit. You know, the thing he keeps claiming Joe Biden did. It's one thing about Trump you can appreciate. He inevitably tells you what he's doing because he can't help but accuse...

Rivendale, perhaps you could clarify your comment a bit for those of us who have not followed this particular theory. What papers do you mean being hidden, by whom, and when?

That seems tenuous especially with the scant evidence that Rigdon recieved the ...

Drumdude, reading your quote I read that the church did what the fellow asked and his wife states it is for the best. I am not seeing what you are upset about.

The last time I expressed my skepticism in these parts regarding the "Dartmouth Connection," I was chided for materializing out of the blue to mock people (in that instance, Randy Bell) and for not keeping an open mind. I thought my emphatic rejection of Nielsen's theory on the other board as "utte...

I did not know the person referred to here so followed the link to the Trib article. I found it had positive as well as critical comments. Here is an observation that I can respect. It does not negate the quotes Everybody Wang Chung presented. They remain important, perhaps more so. ... And then it ...

What the heck has Trump got to do with it? A fair question. Nomomo is an infrequent, low-content poster who throws down angry OPs, and then doesn't really discuss much from there. Most often, his OPs are rants against right-wing politics, often Trump, and religion is a part of that political conver...
